    Have a free quote from a Worcester Bosch approved engineer, if things have not changed either 7 or 10 years cover .

  • How many bathrooms have you got? If you've got more than one I'd stick with a cylinder and boiler.

    Vokera price too cheap given work involved converting to a combi. Corners will be cut to meet price. Make sure the quote includes cleaning and flushing the system and , inhibitor chemicals to protect the system and a system filter. Otherwise when your boiler breaks down the manufacturer will not honour the guarantee.

    What rating of combi are you planning to fit?
    What controls: TRV's, digital programmer?

    Just the 1 bathroom.... Had pipe work updated already to 22mm yes includes the flush & removal of all old pipes / water tanks etc

    Not sure of rating it will have a digital wirless programmer if that's what you mean, will have the TRV's on the rads 4 of which are brand new will be replacing upstairs ones next year.

    By 'rating' I mean what output in kW? Price rises along with rated output.

    That's way too cheap, I would avoid that boiler.
    Stick with either valiant or Worcester Bosch.
    but with one of these your looking at about £2500 to have all the pipework mods etc.
